Pools on apple store. This awesome liminal horror game has a ios port! It looks pretty much the same as the pc version with the exception of the slide animations is missing.

The fist chapter is free, and the full version costs $9.99. Sadly there isn't an android version available

POOLS (2024)

Should you buy this: YES

In my opinion the best liminal game out there. What I used to love about the backrooms was the uncertainty of what comes next and the weird nostalgic architecture and sound design (and both are absolutely amazing 10/10 in POOLS). The pool rooms, or the wet hallways used to be empty (and not overfilled with monsters and cheap jump scares) but you were never actually sure if something is lurking in the darkness. You always feel watched, but the pool rooms are kind to you.

Somebody with claustrophobia and fear of deep water I really enjoyed this game. it made me feel uneasy, I like that.

Game play Equipped with an zoom camera, you walk trough a maze of liminal pools rooms. Some are constructed in impossible ways, are huge or camped, or evoke nostalgia. You can slide down slides :p The game consist into 6 chapters (+ bonus chapter 0) of approximately 10 to 30 minutes play time each. Pro tip: You can adjust your walking and running speed in the game options (and many other things like colors, walking sounds, etc.). I personally like the walking speed but it is nice if you go back to collect achievements, or need to run trough levels quickly. For the first time I heavily recommend taking the atmosphere in, and not change the settings too much.
